Impossible to launch Tor Browser 11.5a13 64-bit (English) on Ubuntu

Issue description:
After installation of Tor Browser Alpha, I can’t launch the Tor Browser.

Steps to reproduce
$ xz -d tor-browser-linux64-11.5a13_en-US.tar.xz
$ tar xvf tor-browser-linux64-11.5a13_en-US.tar
$ cd tor-browser_en-US/
$ ./start-tor-browser.desktop

ScreenShot

Suggested solution
I saw that my local torrc file is empty. I copy the default file into torrc :
$ cd Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Tor/
$ cp torrc-defaults torrc
Unfortunately, it doesn’t fix the issue.

Content of my torrc file :slight_smile:
$ more Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Tor/torrc

# torrc-defaults for Tor Browser
#
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
#
# This file is distributed with Tor Browser and SHOULD NOT be modified (it
# may be overwritten during the next Tor Browser update). To customize your
# Tor configuration, shut down Tor Browser and edit the torrc file.

# If non-zero, try to write to disk less frequently than we would otherwise.

Is there a message in the Shell?

Yes, here is the message in the shell :slight_smile:

Launching './Browser/start-tor-browser --detach'...

I have fixed the issue : Tor browser was already running (11.5 release) and the new Tor browser (11.5a release) cannot bind to 127.0.0.1:9151: Address already in use. Sorry for any convenience.
